Hello

Is there a way in Postfix to limit email relays to non-existent users?

For example, if an email has over 25% failures in its email sending attemps in the last hour, block that email for an hour or so.

When, say, hacked scripts are used by spammers to send mass emails, this would help limit the amount of damage.

I know recent cPanel versions have this sort of check that will reject email relaying when a email domain exceeds, for example, more than 25% relays to non-existent email users.

When that happens, the CPanel server outputs something like:

Domain has exceeded the max defers and failures per hour (5/5 (26%)) allowed. Message discarded.

Is there a way to implement this in Postfix? Is smtpd_hard_error_limit related to this somehow?
